Sanders co-founded the Fort Worth-based charter school and served as the head football coach and part-time school operator. On Wednesday, The Dallas Morning News reported that Sanders got into a physical altercation with school administrator Kevin Jefferson over Sanders' displeasure with the way the school was being managed.

“He walked back to the back of the classroom to where I was sitting in a desk,” Jefferson told the Morning News' Tanya Eiserer. “As he got closer to me, I stood up because he was kind of standing over me and he just kind of kept talking to me and at me and then he just grabbed me by my throat and kind of threw me to the ground. Some people had to get him off of me.”

“He was not beat up. He was not hit. He was none of that. Mr. Jefferson and I got into a confrontation about the welfare of these kids. And we’ll get into another one. Until you start taking care of these kids, I’m going to be on a rampage. Until we start serving these kids in Dallas like the kids are served in Fort Worth, and better, I’m going to be on the same rampage, because the teachers are frustrated. We’re frustrated. I didn’t manhandle him. I didn’t assault him. I went face-to-face with him. We had some real words.”

In 2012, Prime Prep had what was considered one of the elite high school basketball teams in the country. The school was led by Top-10 2014 SMU commit Emmanuel Mudiay along with 2013 graduates Karviar Shepherd and Jordan Mickey, who are now freshman at TCU and LSU, respectively.
